He was quoting the report of high-level committee set up by the UP government to go into the factual details of the deaths of children as reported in the media.
“The cause of the death of all these children is different with about four dying because of pneumonia while some others died because of dysentery and one due to premature birth,” Gupta said adding that the report was submitted to the government yesterday.
The official said that all the children had got medical attention and “it cannot be termed as medical negligence or incapability of the doctors”.
On the conclusion of the report, Gupta said that it has been recommended that the quality and facilities in the camps should be improved, and steps should be taken for early return of the people living in the camps to their homes.
